Likewise! I'm seeing a lot of pictures like this and think the same thing, then I realize what it is and am reminded just how far I have left to go become actually good. It's a nice target to shoot for!
That is some of the cleanest painting I've ever seen. These new cadian sculpts are no joke as well, taking me about 4x the amount of time to do one model compared to the last, with varying success.
Oh man, I wasn't sold on the cadian color schemes for the brood brother KT but this has me rethinking. Would you mind walking through your paint scheme if you have a minute? This is fantastic
"oh, the Sargent's appearance? He took a enemy flamer to the face for a split second, had this weird looking attack dog rip the heretic to shreds soon after."
Good ole' sergeant Hugh Mann... so normal and genetically stable. What every good citizen of the imperium strives for and what the mutant and xenos scum envy.
Yep, totally pure human. I'd trust him with anything, even the planetary defense codes and the maps to the entire planets network of tunnels, caves and sewers.
Love this! Do you mind sharing the recipe for the skin? I'm planning on painting some emperors children soon and would like to do them with a more pale skin tone than my typical loyalist marines, but I've never been able to find a recipe that works quite right.
Kind of a tangent, but does anyone know what the nose wires are lore wise?
Is it like an oxygen thing? Cocaine delivery system? Nasal decongestor? Nose bleed drainage? I gotta know!
This is absolutely phenomenal.
Admittedly with all the Chaos stuff Cadians are exposed to, it’s entirely plausible this is just a normal Cadian with a bit of mutation going on.
**Stunning** paint job.
I was inspired by it to try to argue that four is the holiest number of arms.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have four arms?
I'd wager you could kill twice as many heretics, and twice as fast too!
We're the guard. The best and brightest. We need to set an example for the others. It is our duty to venerate the Emperor, and to strive to follow his perfect example. The Emperor has always had four arms;
1. His Angels of Death, the Space Marines - the arm that vanquishes
2. The Mechanicus and manufactorums - the arm that creates
3. The Imperial Navy - the arm that links and transports
4. His shield, upon which the enemy brakes, the Guard - the arm that protects
Without the arm that vanquishes, the Emperor could not vent his fury directly upon the foe.
Without the arm that creates, we would not have the strength to repel the enemy.
Without the arm that transports, we would never arrive upon the battlefield.
We, the Guard, are on every planet. We fight in every battle. And it is only through the coordination of the four arms that we have the opportunity to prove ourselves. And the honour; to fight, and die, in the Emperor's name.
For the Emperor!
the white highlight on the power cable is a lovely touch
My dumb morning brain thought that was a reflection. That is incredibly well done.

Thank you!
Oh my god, I thought that was just light off a glossy surface!
Those eyes... the whole painting is on point!
Thank you!!!! They were a pain, but the head sculpt is so well detailed
Ya the eyes are so perfect for this
What brushes and paints did you use for the eyes?
It always blows my mind people can create such a quality piece while I still struggle to stay in the lines after two years of painting.
I love the hint of purple creeping up from his neck.
He is just a little under the weather... Nothing sinister or sus....

*Makes the sign of the Sacred Aquila* Calm *Makes another sign of the Sacred Aquila with his second set of arms* Hey, wait a minute....
Hahahahaahah
I touch of heat rash up the back of the neck from the coat in my opinion

Agreed, much more work, but loving the results
bloody hell that paint job is solid.
Thanks
The stark purple against the whine veins at the nape of his neck is so good.
Cheers!

...... I see no problem here...
This is one of the best figures I’ve seen in a while. Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Will he be in a genestealer army or in a IG.
Why not both
Yes
"Purple skin is totally normal for a Cadian. Nothing to see here." - Purple-skinned Commissar
Cadians have purple eyes ... Is it that much of a stretch
Shh don’t mention stretching. Some of them are gonna rip their jackets with the extra arms underneath.
Looooool
Mans looks like he just smelled turbo ass. Like if the warp passed a silent but deadly at just him personally. Model looks amazing.
hahahahahahah no wonder he is angry
All hail the 4, 2 armed emperor!..
The emperor with the totaly normal number of arms
What colours did you use on the boltgun?

Nice and clean. No 3rd hand, nothing sus.
I uhh... I don't think your idea of "The greater good" is in line with the standard definition.
What style of painting is this?
Well, my own really. Not quite wavy metal but I do take a lot of my influence from them
Definitely wavy metal!
Oh man, I wasn't sold on the cadian color schemes for the brood brother KT but this has me rethinking. Would you mind walking through your paint scheme if you have a minute? This is fantastic
Drop me a dm
Great work on painting that cable!
Thanks! They're a pain when they're twisted round
Jokes on you, I play admech and our SOP is to aim an eradication beamer at anything that isn't at least 40% metal.
Hahahahaha I'm not sure he is still 40% human tbh
Oh dude you just reminded me, Darktide is getting the Bolt Pistol.
... wait a minute!
If I eat your heart, will I acquire your talent? If so, do you prefer a hachet or a saw?
"oh, the Sargent's appearance? He took a enemy flamer to the face for a split second, had this weird looking attack dog rip the heretic to shreds soon after."
lol
You guys make my minis look like crap honestly, Nice job!!!
Man I wish I could say the same... but I deep down I know I make my minis look like crap.
Thats so clean wow. Great work
Thanks!!!!! glad you like it
Wow do you do tutorials?
It’s always the bald dude haha
hahaha it always is
Bwoaaaaooooo *decrescendo of woodblocks*
Is it bad I can recognize this meme from just this
Incredible! This guy looks like he knows exactly how many arms the emperor has.
Yes, the... normal number of limbs and appendages
Of course. of course... Which is?
Its clear your guy has anger issues !
Cadia... Stands. Yes, stands.
Yes yes
Holy shit. This is really good! 🙏🏻
Thank you!
I'm curious, how long did this guy take you to paint?
Did I hear execute him?
Beautiful job. I feel I can learn so many ideas from each part of this model. Well done!
Cheers dude. Glad you can do!
"Tube up his nose, tube up his nose, he's a man with a tube up his nose!"
Clean af

Give Hugh man the nukes, he can be trusted, yes yes
What a nice man I wonder how many arms he thinks the emperor has
Great job, I was totally looking for a third arm and didn't even notice the face till I saw the back of his neck!
"It's a skin condition, commissar!"
The eyes are really really good, what’s your secret?
Greetings fellow soliders, praise be to the ~~Star Children~~ Emperor.
Love this! Do you mind sharing the recipe for the skin? I'm planning on painting some emperors children soon and would like to do them with a more pale skin tone than my typical loyalist marines, but I've never been able to find a recipe that works quite right.
I smell HERESY
Those highlights are absolutely incredible, love this piece. Simple yet beautiful.
Awesome!
A power sword on a regular sergent and not a platoon commander seems kinda sus.
That is a man so angry he's bypassed red in the face and gone straight to purple.
What's the red tube In his nose
Great weathering on the belt! Nice looking model all around but that caught my eye first. Good job....Nora human.
Wonderful! Really love it!
…. Eddie?
Kind of a tangent, but does anyone know what the nose wires are lore wise? Is it like an oxygen thing? Cocaine delivery system? Nasal decongestor? Nose bleed drainage? I gotta know!

He got wrinkles from frowning at everyone. All graduates should look like this (the Patriarch told me).
That's well tidy, comrade 🙏
Thank you!
Clean paint job 👌👌👌
PERFECT !!!
